Properties isEmpty() method in Java with Examples

The isEmpty() method of Properties class is used to check if this Properties object is empty or not.

Below programs show the implementation of int isEmpty() method.

Program 1:




// Java code to show the implementation of
// isEmpty method
  
import java.util.*;
public class GfG {
  
    // Main method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Create a properties and add some values
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("Pen", 10);
        properties.put("Book", 500);
        properties.put("Clothes", 400);
        properties.put("Mobile", 5000);
  
        // Print Properties details
        System.out.println("Properties: "
                           + properties.toString());
  
        // Checking if the Properties is empty
        System.out.println("Is Properties empty: "
                           + properties.isEmpty());
    }
}


Output:

Properties: {Book=500, Mobile=5000, Pen=10, Clothes=400}
Is Properties empty: false

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// isEmpty() method.
  
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG {
  
    // Main method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Create a properties and add some values
        Properties properties = new Properties();
  
        // Print Properties details
        System.out.println("Current Properties: "
                           + properties.toString());
  
        // Checking if the Properties is empty
        System.out.println("Is Properties empty: "
                           + properties.isEmpty());
    }
}


Output:

Current Properties: {}
Is Properties empty: true
